Anathema
...And I Lust
[Intro]
Stately columns standing in solemn rows
Such empty honours are suitable for those
Whose death erases all renown and fame
And vanquishes their glory with their name

[verse 1]
Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields
Rewards are just
Who knows what absence yields?

[Chorus]
By the golden beauty of dusk
And the sun low in our sky
By the haunting shadows of trees
And graves mesmerized am I

[Verse 2]
Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams
I see a face stare back at me
Oh so serene

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Those whispering shades
Sad silent glades
[Bridge]
But not for those whose superior worth
After death extols them to the earth
I would even venture to assume
That one need not build for them a tomb
By human art, since glory heaven sent
Serves them as a living monument

[Outro]
Pain is a far away land
Misery
A lifetime's journey
And I lust for death (judgement)
